Do you split wattage on 2 pole breaker?
If the load is rated 220 or 230 or 240 volts (all the same thing), and specifies a wattage rating, that wattage rating is at the double pole voltage. You wouldn't make any adjustments to it. The load should also indicate the input current in Amps, which is used for sizing your breaker. If not, watts=amps x volts, so amps=watts/volts. For example, a 3800 Watt heater at 240v would require 15.83 amps. The breaker for this circuit would be 125 percent of that (safety factor), or 20 amps, 2 pole.
Vacuum is 1100 watts how many amps is that?
If running at 110V, that is 10Amps. Wattage = Voltage x Current Current = Wattage / Voltage - Neeraj Sharma
How many amps breaker you need for a 5000 watts immersion heater?
To answer this question the voltage of the immersion heater is needed. I = W/E.
Is liners legal for cb radios?
In the US at least, no, linear amps are not legal for use on CB radios. The maximum wattage permitted for AM transmission is four watts, and the maximum wattage permitted for Single Sideband is 12 watts.
How many amps will an electric heater use if 440 volts are applied to it and the resistance is measured at 80ohms?
The formula you are looking for is I = E/R. Amps = Volts/Resistance.
How many amps do you need if you have a 480 volt space heater?
The heater should have a wattage rating (very few list amps). Calculate the amps using the wattage and voltage. Amps = Watts/Volts(480).
How many amps does a block heater draw?
To answer this question the wattage of the block heater must be stated. Amps = Watts/Volts.
A 208V water heater can te be replaced by a 240V water heater?
Yes but you will not get the full watt rating out of the tank. Watts = amps x volts. Say the tank draws 20 amps. 20A x 240V = 4800 watts. 20A x 208V = 4160 watts. It will take longer to heat your water with less wattage.
How many amps does a 40 gal. hot water heater pull?
A typical 40-gallon electric water heater usually operates on a 240-volt circuit and draws between 10 to 30 amps, depending on its wattage. Most commonly, they have a power rating of about 4500 watts, which would result in a current draw of approximately 18.75 amps (calculated using the formula Amps = Watts/Volts). However, it's essential to check the specific model's specifications for exact amp usage.
Do you split wattage on 2 pole breaker?
If the load is rated 220 or 230 or 240 volts (all the same thing), and specifies a wattage rating, that wattage rating is at the double pole voltage. You wouldn't make any adjustments to it.

For example, a 3800 Watt heater at 240v would require 15.83 amps. The breaker for this circuit would be 125 percent of that (safety factor), or 20 amps, 2 pole.
How many amps does a chandelier use?
The amperage that a chandelier draws is based on the amount of bulbs and the wattage of the bulbs used in the fixture. Count the amount of bulbs and multiply that number by the wattage of the bulbs. Take this total wattage and use this formula. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/ Volts.
What is the VA rating for common appliances?
For all intents and purposed the VA rating is the same as the wattage rating of appliances. VA is an electrical classification for Volt Amps. The formula for watts is, Watts = Amps x Volts.
How many amps does a 7000 btu heater use?
A 7000 BTU heater typically draws around 6-7 amps when running on a standard 120-volt circuit. It's always important to check the specific amperage rating provided by the manufacturer in the product's documentation to ensure accurate information.
Does a pool pump on 220 volts use the same amount of energy as a 110 volt?
Assuming it is also rated for 120V., yes. The wattage doesn't change with an increase or decrease in voltage. However, the current draw does. When you double the voltage a load is hooked up to, the Amperage draw (current) drops in half. Example: if a 240 volt heater draws 6 amps, it will draw 12 amps if connected to 120V. If a 120V heater draws 15 amps, it will draw only 7.5 amps when connected to 240V. But power, or wattage stays the same, regardless. And this is what is used to calculate energy usage and therefore, cost. Please note the above answer says "if it is also rated for"
How many btu in a 220 heater?
First you need to find out how many amps the heater draws. Then use this formula: Volts (220) X Amps = Watts Then take: Watts x 3.41214 = Btu/hr
Are electric baseboard heaters efficient?
Amps and Watts measure different things. An Amp is a measure of electrical current and a Watt is a measure of Power. Which ever device draws the higher amperage will be the one that uses more electricity! Hence the 240 watt heater draw less amps even though it uses more watts: Volts Watts/Electical Current Amps/Power example heater 240 volt draws 2000/1000 watts - but uses 8.3/4.2 amps example heater 120 volt draws 1500/750 watts - but uses 12.5/6.3 amps
How many amperes use an electric heater?
The amperage of an electric heater depends on its power rating in watts and the voltage it operates on. To determine the amperage, divide the wattage by the voltage (Amperes = Watts / Volts). For example, a 1500 watt electric heater running on 120 volts would use 12.5 amperes (1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 A).
